This small, circular bronze medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1608, commemorates the start of peace negotiations in The Hague, Netherlands. The front depicts a man with his hands clasped in prayer, surrounded by symbols of peace, including a palm branch and a sword. The back displays an arrangement of wheat stalks symbolizing "strength in unity," a crucial message for these peace negotiations. This medal, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the historical significance of these peace talks.
